Why is my anime art style so weird?

However, on September 21, the diary also recorded the process of discovering the mysterious island, but the diary was more detailed.

July 21, heavy rain.

What bad luck! It's raining so hard today, and it's my and Takano's turn to be on duty.

Just before the 8 o'clock shift change, Takano suddenly shouted.

He spotted a small island in the distance and called the captain and first mate.

After checking the nautical chart, the captain and first mate discovered that the island was not actually on the map.

The captain made a last-minute decision to anchor near the island to avoid the torrential rain.

As the boat approached the island, they surprisingly discovered a small dock.

Is this island inhabited?!

April 22th, cloudy.

The captain and first mate had originally planned to anchor near the island and stay there until the heavy rain stopped before heading to their designated fishing spot.

But Nakamura rallied the Okinawans, demanding that the captain dock at the island and rest for a day or two.

The captain had no choice but to agree to his request, but on the condition that they not stray too far from the dock.

The ship docked around noon, and Nakamura and his group immediately disembarked and disappeared into the nearby forest, completely ignoring the captain's warnings.

In the afternoon, Nakamura and his group discovered an abandoned ancient village and found some gold and silver jewelry inside!

They found the captain and hoped to search the village and load any found jewelry onto the ship.

The captain initially disagreed, but was later persuaded by the first mate.

After all, who would want to mess with Fukuzawa Yukichi?

The captain and Nakamura discussed leaving only a portion of the crew on the ship while the rest went to the village to supervise each other and prevent anyone from stealing the jewelry.

As the sun was setting, everyone looted all the gold and silver treasures in the village.

The captain had originally planned to leave that very night.

As a result, Nakamura and his friends accidentally discovered a small path leading up the mountain, which appeared to have been built by humans.

They went up for a quick look and surprisingly discovered an ancient shrine.

Nakamura and the captain started arguing.

Nakamura wanted to go up the mountain to loot the shrine, but the captain thought it was blasphemy and disagreed.

Later, after being persuaded by the first mate, they agreed to stay on the island for another night.

As a result, something strange happened that night. The people on night watch saw white figures wandering around the village and even going into the walls.

I saw it too!

It was a person dressed in a white hunting robe, dressed like an Onmyoji, with their face covered by a white veil.

He carried a lantern that emitted a blue light and walked into the mountains.

But none of them believe me!

This village—no, this island—is just too eerie!

When can we leave?!

March 23th, cloudy.

Nakamura and his group searched the mountain for a whole day and actually found a small box made of gold at the shrine on the mountain!

How come these guys are so lucky?!

Although the captain felt that it must be an important treasure of the gods and should not be taken away, he could not resist the first mate's persuasion, and Nakamura also promised to give them half of the item after it was sold.

That small box looks to weigh about 40 or 50 kilograms; just selling the gold in it could fetch hundreds of millions of yen.

Moreover, since it's stored in such a valuable gold box, there must be even more precious treasures inside.

Unfortunately, it was locked. Nakamura couldn't bear to damage the box, fearing he might accidentally destroy the treasures inside, so he planned to find a reliable locksmith to open it after going ashore.

Since today's events were already delayed, the captain had no choice but to announce that they would stay on the island for another night.

Then, something strange happened again that night.

The three men on night watch saw a group of priests dressed in white hunting robes with their faces covered by veils carrying a box that looked like a coffin up the mountain.

The fields have also disappeared.

It must be that bastard Nakamura who angered the local gods! The field has vanished!

It's all Nakamura's fault!

March 24th, cloudy.

Early in the morning, the captain called everyone to search the vicinity for a long time, and finally found that Tianye had hanged himself on a tree in the nearby forest!

The scariest thing is, Tianye was actually laughing!?

A dead man, yet he had a smiling face on his face!

So weird!

I don't want to stay on the island for another second.

That bastard Nakamura actually wanted to stay on the island a few more days to see if he could find any more valuable treasures.

That madman!

Fortunately, this time the captain firmly disagreed, and even the first mate sided with the captain.

Nakamura was furious, but there was nothing he could do; he didn't want to be left on the island either.

With their loot, everyone returned to the ship and left the island before noon.

9 month 25 day.

The atmosphere on the ship became a little strange; everyone seemed tense.

It was sunny on March 9.

I saw it!

That guy Nakamura actually pushed the island into the sea!

He even falsely accused Chi Zhu of doing it!

But I dare not say it.

Because he found out about me too.

He threatened me that if I dared to tell anyone, he would kill me too!

This guy is a man of his word!

November 30st

Nakamura is afraid I'll report him, so he's been loitering around the driver's seat every now and then these past few days, and he's even had one of his close associates keep an eye on me.

I don't even dare to write in my diary anymore.

I hope nothing bad happens...

It seems that because someone was watching, the owner of the diary not only didn't write for several days, but also kept very short entries.

A sense of urgency is evident between the lines.

10 month 2 day.

I overheard Nakamura and the group of Okinawans plotting to kill everyone else so they could keep all the treasure they had looted from the island for themselves.

Those damn Okinawans!

I found an opportunity to secretly tell First Mate Fukuda about this.

May Buddha protect us and keep us safe from harm!

10 month 4 day.

They've all gone mad; they're killing anyone they see!

They're coming in soon, I have to hide...

The diary entry came to an abrupt end.

Xu Ming looked at the yellowed notebook in front of him with a serious expression.

Combined with the nautical log found in the cockpit earlier.

The sequence of events has been roughly clarified.

This is a tragedy caused by greed.

The crew members on the ship fought each other to seize the treasure they had brought from the island, and ultimately perished together.

The fishing boat became a ghost ship, and the group of people became wandering ghosts adrift at sea.

A wave crashed in, and the fishing boat rocked violently.

Squeak!

A soft sound suddenly came from the crew's cabin; the latch on one of the wardrobes was loosened, and the door slowly opened.

A horribly mutilated corpse appeared before Xu Ming's eyes.

Xu Ming looked at the horribly mummy, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Given how cramped the wardrobe was, one can only imagine the horrific state of the corpse inside.

Chapter 380 The Consequences of Greed

The corpse in the closet was curled up in a ball, like sausage meat stuffed into a casing, looking incredibly gruesome.

His eyes were wide open, filled with resentment and despair.

Xu Ming could fully imagine what he had gone through.

terror, pain, loneliness, hunger, despair...

The corpse hiding in the closet in this drama is most likely the owner of the diary.
